We saw a little more of Lausanne than we, thanks to some road work and detours. But once we made our way to Hotel Elite, everything was great for a quick visit. The 5-minute walk from the train station with luggage turned into 25 minutes, but it paid off with a comfortable, spacious room in this handsome hotel — with an elevator. We had our choice of restaurants within a short walk that night and were on the edge of the historic City Center for a walking tour the next day. The route to the Cathedral has some steep stretches, so we used the convenient Metro to reach it and work our way back down hill. Our stay included a hearty, hot breakfast in a cozy dining room. And the manager bailed me out. I booked the wrong night, and she shifted it to the next night at no extra charge. Thanks, Hotel Elite.

While the hotel is older, it is classic! Old-world style without being worn out. The staff was great. Very close to the train station. We were impressed by Georgi, who checked us in. A wonderful ambassador for the hotel! This was our first stay, but it will not be our last!!!

Building is very close to metro and train station, but do note there is a steep slope/ long stairs from the stations to the hotel.
Reception staff is very nice and welcoming.
Building is a bit old but it is fine for one or two days stay.

The rooms don’t have interior top locks, and felt a bit unsafe but I have noticed that in many area hotels. Great price. I picked it because it was the closest to the train station, not realizing the steep steps (3 flights) up, or you can go around up a steep hill. If you have heavy luggage or physical limitations, I would pick a different hotel that may say it’s farther, to the side of the station instead of up!

Zero stars. Advertised as having AC, it did not. Room smelled badly upon arrival. There was a fan but it only worked if you held the button down, removing finger turned off fan. No screens on the windows. Bed sheets were dirty. No other rooms available, no replacement fans available. We checked out after 30 mins to change hotels. Two separate front desk workers were unhelpful and told conflicting stories about manager availability. Manager, who was never available, refused to refund our two night stay. How Elite.

Hotel is outdated but very functional. Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood. Would recommend this hotel.

Great location, but be ready to walk uphill from the train station!! Staff was great. Hotel a bit dated, but clean , well proportioned room , and easy check in and out!
4.4
I did not get what I booked. I upgraded our room to one with a view of the lake and a balcony. The manager at the hotel blamed Expedia for allowing the upgrade when it wasn’t available. We did get a view but no balcony with no refund for the up charge. The manager did offer us breakfast as compensation but the breakfast was not the same value as the balcony room we booked.

We found this hotel in a Rick Steves travel guide for Switzerland. His description is accurate. Awesome location near the train station. The upper floor rooms do have a view of the lake. The front desk staff was pleasant and friendly. The rooms are a decent size. We had two family rooms. The decorating is not up to date and the appliances like the hair dryer are also dated (no big deal, every thing was functional). Breakfast is fairly basic and the attendant does not ask for your drink order or stop at your table, so you must get their attention. Unless you have an early train, you might want to get breakfast elsewhere. Perhaps we have just been spoiled by the breakfasts at multiple Italian hotels (large variety and attentive hosts).

We stayed for four nights. The location is ideal—Lausanne Gare is just a three-minute walk away. The personnel is very kind and helpful. The rooms have good heating and are clean.

We stayed here on our visit to see the Christmas Markets. This hotel is on a quiet side street and convenient to the train station and main downtown area. We walked from the train station. We were on the third floor and there was an elevator. We had a room with a balcony and beautiful view of the distant mountains and lake.

The hotel is very close to the train station...albeit up a VERY steep hill (which i did dragging a 50lb suitcase in the rain - not the best first impression of Lausanne). The hotel is pleasant; the staff are very nice. The decor is a little dated - how old were those rugs anyway? - tho i enjoyed the large bathtub after squeezing into tiny showers at the other hotels. I said a little prayer each time i hot into the miniscule &elderly elevator. The bkfast was basic, the coffee was excellent

We were thrilled with our stay at Hotel Elite. It is about a 10 minute (uphill) walk from the train station and located on a quiet side street. They kindly stored our luggage until check in and provided us with a city card for Lausanne. It is conveniently located at a roughly 20 minute walk to the beautiful lakefront area of the city. When we arrived in our room we were thrilled to have a lovely balcony where we could enjoy the sunset. We had two comfortable twin beds, a seating area on the balcony, and a spacious room and bathroom. There was not AC (we knew this ahead of time) but there was a fan which kept us cool overnight. The wifi reception was great as well. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.
4.4
Good location close to the train if you have carryon luggage. Cute, quaint and as we were on the 4th floor, had a beautiful view of the mountains and lake. Sitting area where one can read is nice to have. Provided a USB adapter so we could charge our phones so that was great also. Larger room than many in Europe!

Nice hotel and area. Near everything we needed- dining, train, shopping. All within walking distance.

Excellent location just 3 min walk from train station and very convenient free (with the card from your hotel) Metro line that 10 min away from the waterfront attractions such as boats around the lake, swimming, marina, Olympic museum, etc. Descent, no thrill breakfast, good air-conditioning, spacious bathroom and very helpful stuff!
4.4
A quaint hotel. Close to the train & metro. Quiet inside and outside. We used the courtesy transport pass for metro and buses. The city has hills! The hotel is uphill from the train. Our gps map directed up 60 steps. Better to walk the slightly longer road route both up and down.
4.4
Very clean and modern rooms. Restaurants and train station nearby. Walkable for sightseeing in Lausanne. Would highly recommend staying here.
4.4
We had a nice lake view room with balcony and it was as we expected, clean and airy. We enjoyed bringing back a bite to eat on our balcony and listening to the birds and watching the street below us (not noisy). Close to the train station (steep uphill walk to get to it) but an easy walk back down to the station. The Metro station to take you up and down the hill is nearby and makes it easy to get around. Nice breakfast in the morning and always someone at the front desk. We enjoyed our stay there, we would stay there again, and recommend it for those wishing to stay close to the train station.
